Nigeria-born youngster Bukayo Saka was given a start in the crunch clash and the 17-year-old helped with an assist even though the Gunners failed to break the 13-year jinx of not winning at the Theater of Dreams
Marcus Rashford made a surprise start after an injury scare while Paul Pogba came into midfield alongside Scott McTominay.
Gunners manager played the trio of Saka, record signing Nicolas Pepe, Aubameyang in attack. Scottish left-back, Kieran Tierney, was on the bench.
Pogba and Rashford drove United forward as they tried to bounce back from last week’s defeat against West Ham.
They controlled possession early but did not create clear opportunities to score.
Arsenal went close when Saka found himself free but David de Gea made a fantastic save.
The North London side continue to pile pressure as Pepe drew a brilliant save from the Spaniard and at the other end, the Red Devils took the lead on the stroke of half-time as Rashford’s cut-back was blasted past Leno from the edge of the box by McTominay to make it 1-0.
United continued their fine display but a mistake by Axel Tuanzebe saw Saka play in Aubameyang and the Gabonese coolly slotted past De Gea for his seventh premier league goal of the season.
The goal was initially cancelled but after some check with VAR, it was given for 1-1.
Both teams tried to get another goal but at the end, the honours were shared by the two rival clubs.

18-Month Transition Failure: ECOWAS Imposes Sanctions On Mali Leaders - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

November 8, 2021
The West African regional bloc in a statement explained that this is coming following a summit in Ghana that the interim authorities had informed it of their inability to meet the transition deadline of February 2022. The sanctions include travel bans and asset freezes on all members of the transitional authority as well as certain family members, the statement said, adding ECOWAS would consider additional sanctions in December if no progress is made.
It would be recalled that ECOWAS first imposed sanctions, including border closures, immediately after last year’s coup but lifted them less than two months later after the coup leaders agreed to the 18-month transition.
Mali’s interim government, which took power following the military’s overthrow of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita in August 2020, had promised ECOWAS to oversee an 18-month transition back to democracy culminating in elections on February 27, 2022.
ECOWAS however warned Mali’s progress towards February polls insufficient, but it only made fitful progress towards organising the vote and repeatedly suggested it might be delayed, in part because of a continuing uprising by armed groups.

Nigeria became the first nation to book their spot in the Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 with a 1-0 victory over Guinea at Alexandra Stadium on Wednesday.
Guinea had the first decent attempt on goal after just two minutes. Ibrahima Cisse struck the ball fiercely towards the centre of goal with Daniel Akpeyi unable to hold on to the ball but thankfully for him, the Super Eagles defence cleared their lines.
Sory Kaba then came close for the Guineans in the ninth minute as his shot went narrowly wide of the left-hand upright.
The Super Eagles had their first decent opportunity in the 14th minute when Peter Etebo’s corner was headed narrowly wide by Wilfred Ndidi.
In the 21st minute, Guinea won a free-kick on the edge of the box when Issiaga Sylla was fouled by Moses Simon. Francois Kamana curled his effort on to the roof of the net – not far off at all.
Nigeria should have taken the lead on the half-hour mark. Simon’s through-ball released Odion Ighalo clear on goal down the right-hand side and the China-based striker should have squared the ball to an unmarked Ahmed Musa for a simple tap-in but selfishly went for goal from a tight angle only to hit the side-netting.
The Super Eagles were rewarded for their dominance when they broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute. Simon Falette conceded the corner and Simon delivered the ball to the near post where centre-back Kenneth Omeruo was on hand to head in to the back of the net, with Kone unable to keep it out despite getting a hand to it.
